🌞🤩😱It's coming! Holy Moly! An X1.8 flare from AR3848, then a blast of sun stuff (a CME), and they created a shock driving particles (snow on images) to near the speed of light. The source was near the Earth-facing solar disk's center. So this stuff is headed our way—and it's fast 🤔🧐What does this mean? A significant impact on Earth and a forecasted severe geomagnetic storm (G5 out of 5) 🫣😱😎Aurora could be seen in the southern US. WOW!! When is the impact? Between 1-5 am EDT Thurs, get ready!
